Teen in hosp after slash at all-girls school

A QUEENS teen was hospitalized Tuesday after a schoolmate slashed her with a kitchen knife, authorities said.

Witnesses told police the students, at the Young Women’s Leadership School in Jamaica, were arguing when the 17-yearold attacker pulled the blade.

The victim, 18, suffered three slash wounds, to her forehead and right ear and above her right eye.

Emergency responders took the teen to Jamaica Hospital for treatment.

Police said the slasher was arrested without incident.

Education Department spokeswoman Miranda Barbot said the injured student at the all-girls school is in stable condition.

“The NYPD and EMS immediately responded to and addressed this serious incident, and we are providing the school with additional support,” Barbot said.

The school does not regularly use metal detectors to scan students. State data shows serious violent incidents are increasing in city schools. In September, a student was stabbed to death at the Bronx School for Wildlife Conservation, the first killing in a city school in more than two decades.
